We ate there two nights in a row. Went back next night for the clam chowder. It's excellent. Braised beef was really good also. Chef and sous chef are watching every dish that come out of the well run a kitchen.

Waited over 20 minutes to even get a glass of water. No staff to be seen for ages. Restaurant patrons there before us didn't have their food until around the time we got ours so slow service all around. Only three tables including ours were seated so not overly busy. Good choice was a little sparse. My companion enjoyed his short ribs but the chicken added to my risotto tasted as if boiled and unseasoned. Not sure I'd go back.

Extremely over priced, food was bland, old, and previously frozen. Only redeeming quality was our server. With all the amazing & high quality restaurants surrounding this area...eat there. Do not waste your money here.

The food was fair at best; had a rib eye steak that was more fat vs meat; had to ask the waiter several times for bread, water and wine. Desert was great. Disappointed overall since the La Costa resort is very nice.

I have dined twice at the Blue Fire Grill. My first experience was two years ago and I was overall happy with my experience. My latest experience was last weekend for my mom's birthday. The food was absolutely terrible. This applies not just to my dish ( I had the sea bass) but to all of the dishes at the table. Their risotto was colorless and lacking flavor. The Salmon was also lacking flavor as did their chicken dish.The presentation of the food was absolutely sub-par. The only item which was excellent was the Banana Split dessert. As a resident living on the golf course I enjoy coming to the resort for the overall ambiance. The staff are very polite and friendly. The staff at the restaurant were also polite and friendly. However, the restaurants needs a serious makeover with regard to the quality, taste, and presentation of their food. I am overall very very disappointing in my dining experience last weekend and do hope that the Blue Fire Grill makes some changes in the future.
